On Tuesday, Romo talked to the media for the first time since being named the Cowboys’ backup quarterback.

“Dak Prescott has earned the right to be our quarterback,” he said.

“I think Dak knows that I have his back and I think I know that he has mine,” Romo said. “Ultimately it’s about the team. I’m not going to allow this situation to negatively affect Dak or this football team by becoming a constant distraction.”
